The Tabernacle Broadleaf Robusto by Foundation Cigar Company is a powerful, full-bodied cigar that celebrates the rich heritage of Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco and the artistry of Nicholas Melillo. As one of Foundation’s most acclaimed blends, The Tabernacle represents strength, faith, and craftsmanship—embodying Melillo’s deep respect for his Connecticut roots and his mastery of Nicaraguan tobacco.

Handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, this 5 x 50 Robusto features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and a core of aged Nicaraguan long-fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. The tobaccos are carefully aged and fermented to perfection, resulting in a full-bodied cigar with exceptional depth and balance.

The smoke opens with rich notes of espresso, dark cocoa, and earth, followed by hints of black pepper, molasses, and oak. As the cigar develops, layers of leather, toasted nuts, and sweet spice emerge, leading to a long, creamy finish that lingers with natural sweetness and a touch of dark fruit.
